    100% Rotten Tomato Rating- 1st in History I have yet to read a negative review on the film Lady Bird. As a gift to your Mom, or any person you care about, treat them to a showing of Lady Bird. In true fashion, I do not want to give too much away. The story centers around a young lady attending parochial school who is coming of age, and trying to figure life out. That is all I want to divulge. Go see it, and return, and lets discuss all of the bits of this absolutely beautiful story. I hate California, I want to go to the east coast. I want to go where culture is like, New York, or Connecticut or New Hampshire - Lady Bird -kat

    I would love for this to resurrect. Ill even take care of organizing it if folks are interested. Count me in. Hostess with the mostests, kat

    Wonders never cease to amaze me how resourceful you are. In my opinion, any occasion with fine wine is a special occasion, especially paired with something as humble as ice cream. Making the ordinary, extraordinary. Chez Rocks, kat

    I may be biased, but Baby Wale certainly has a great dog. With all of the options in the District, I always manage to find my way back to Chef's place. Its home for me. I asked him for a recommendation on what to eat, and without hesitation , Chef cued for me to have the Jersey dogs. I made a reference and asked if they were as good as The Ripper in Jerz. He nodded and said no contest. So naturally, I took Chef's suggestion. The frank was served with condiments of whole grain mustard, caraway krout, ,ketchup and those crazy good fries tossed in grapeseed oil and parsley. I would have taken a snapshot of the dog, but I don't think it could have done it justice. So I suggest a trip to the Baby Wale to find out for yourself. You won't be disappointed, and if you are, I'll personally buy your next dog at a spot of your choice. Jersey in the District, kat

    WHAT?!?! I thought for sure there would be one in the District , or at least in the Wheaton area. Interesting indeed. There is a pop up happening in my hood of lil ol York, Pa, and I wanted to do a bit of research before heading to this event. Thanks for the rec. In search for Cambodian Eats, kat

    Can someone recommend a Cambodian restaurant in the DMV? Please & thank you, kat

    Pop ups are here to say, and frankly I love it. For two weekends in December 8-10, and 15-17 a Thai born chef will be creating a spirited menu inspire by Cambodian cuisine imparted with French influence, and no doubt technique. I don't have details yet on the menu, but you know I am already there. I love the cultural diversity these pop ups present, especially in this rural part of South Central Pa. I can hardly wait.

    Please check out the outpost on 14th st. It is delicious. There are some flavors that are not available in the shop, nonetheless it is most definitely worth the trip into downtown.

    In our household, roast pig is served with spicy papaya. The richness of the meat pairs well with the funky flavors of the papaya salad. All good,in moderation.

    As a professed logophile, my inbox informs me of the word of the day. I kinda wish there was an application to revive vernacular of era's gone by. I prefer "hinky", to sketch, "bunco" to hustler, and so on. For this reason, I enjoy watching old films that showcase dialogue that include beautiful vocabulary , rather than calling your partner boo, or citing things as "lit". Call me a fuddy duddy, but I long for the days where I can have a conversation where I can hang on every word. Literally. kat

    You had me at roast piggie. hmmm, good.

    @squidsdc I am working on there to be a Philadelphia branch. The platform just started a year ago, and is looking to expand in other areas. I am hopeful that I am successful. You could have your niece reach out to MealTribes , and express interest in expanding to the city of brotherly love. I listed MealTribes in the Philadelphia forum with intent to build a buzz. Sorry for the confusion. Building community, one meal at a time, kat

    All it takes is interest in getting involved. Nearly 12 years ago I started a thread on this forum, Please Introduce Yourselves, where I wanted to meet like minded people as myself through food. It turned out, I was't alone. 108,495 views, and 1,673 replies later its still going strong. Food connects all of us no matter our beliefs, race, politics, or creed. Food is the universal language we all understand. I hope to be able to lead the movement in the Mid-Atlantic. Perhaps you could do the same in San Francisco. The tribe has spoken. I hope all will join. kat-eats- a-lot, kat

    Best Salad in the World, according to Alton Brown. Mr Brown is no stranger to Lancaster, Pa. Last fall he had visited Luca's sister restaurant, Maison, and raved about how it was the best restaurants of the year. Luca is not traditionally opened on Monday night, but when Alton is in town, it's a safe assumption that the owners make an exception. Not only did he dine in Lancaster, but word has it, that he actually had dinner with a group of people including the owners of Luca. Swell guy. Brown's "Eat your Science" tour hits Hershey, Pa tonight so maybe there will be other Alton Brown sightings in the South Central Pa region. He actually sent out an social media request for people to tag eateries #ABRoadEats to map suggestions as to where he should pop in for a bite. A great campaign if you ask me, that is if you are a fan of Alton Brown. Good Eats, kat

    MealTribes DCeater just recently featured this social community. It started last October. On November 17th I will be meeting with the co-founders to discuss the expansion of the platform to the Mid-Atlantic region. This is my calling. I invite all of you to check out the community. I know it’s geared towed millenials, but honestly all are welcome. Chief, kat

    My trip back to the District included 2 stops. One, Jeni’s, and second, Chiko. My first taste of Jeni’s was a pint that I purchased at Wegmans. It was the Whiskey Pecan. I became hooked immediately. Naturally my second move was to learn everything I could about the company, and where I could purchase it locally. To my delight, I learned of a brick & mortar to open in the District. Without hesitation, I planned a trip. I studdied the flavor offerrings even before my arrival. I knew exactly what I wanted. My eyes lit up like a Christmas tree as soon as I saw the marquee. As I approached the shop, I took notice of a young man attempting to walk by the storefront with out stopping inside. Epic fail. He made a sharp turn back to the shop, and that made me even more excited. I walked away with a double scoop of Pumpkin 5-spice toppled over Salty Peanut butter chocolate flecks. The way the flavors melted together was in fact a symphony. The pumpkin 5-spice made me ponder why the traditional pie isn't prepared in the same manor. Salty peanut butter chocolate flecks oh my my, oh hell yes. I haven’t had 2 Amy’s, but I’m certain there is plenty of room in DC for great artisanal ice creams. I often forget how both proud, as well as loyal the locals are of the DMV purveyors. They won’t be easily impressed by the hype of critically claim attributed to outsiders. Trust me when I say this, Jeni Bauer is the real deal. Her passion is authentic. You can taste the love she has for ice cream. That is why I will be visiting several times over. You get ice cream, you get ice cream!! kat

    48 hours is not nearly enough time to visit the DMV. I hope to have the opportunity to sit across the table from this fine group. There are so many delicious options, but Dim Sum shared among friends, tops my list. I hope a little preplanning will garner more interest, as well secure more of the members of DR to join me for a meal. Many thanks to @DanielK for posting this event. Hopefully next time we'll all be able to join in for a bite. Missin' the DMV, kat

    Wow, I feel like I'm famous. Thank you Daniel. I would love to see some famaliar faces. Im in town for the Food History Roundtable at the Smithsonian. Of course I had to visit. The bonus to my weekend would be to share a meal with the community that prompted me to fall in love with the DMV. Home, kat

    Meet a Legendary Butcher I literally squealed like a Berkshire pig when I read this in my Instagram feed. Tickets are an incredible value starting at $27, and for $52 you can meet the infamous butcher. Caputo Brothers Creamery really nailed it. They are hosting the event. Mark your calendars for Jan 14th. This is a must for any gourmand. Hope to see you there! You know I got my ticket!! Food groupie, kat

    I had no idea a simple inquiry to get to know the people of DC would span this long. It warms my heart everytime I read up on the thread, and see this thriving community engage in conversation that starts off with a common love for food, but flourishes into so much more. Welcome to the community, Yhippa! Feelin' the love, kat

    I love to eat. This is no surprise. I also love to share spots that I enjoy with the masses, in hopes that they take my review, and visit said restaurant. York is where I grew up, and have returned to. There are plenty of some what good restaurants. The issue I have with spots in this town is that they make a great first impression, but when I return for another meal, not so much. Does this happen in the DMV as well? Consistency is not their strong suit here. I've been to a few pop- ups that I raved about, but it was short lived. Am I too picky? Is my palate high maintenance? Asking for a friend, kat
